About My Clients

Are you stuck? Is life a daily struggle, with no joy? You are not alone and what you are experiencing is more common than you may think. Let's connect and make the rest of your life the best of your life! Regardless of what you go through, I am here to walk alongside you and help you find healthy coping strategies so that you can find joy and purpose again. You can make your life whole, happy and meaningful again! You have a choice! Choose YOU! Warmly, Cristina

My Background and Approach

I am a graduate of Walden University, MN, class of 2021 with a specialization in Marriage, Couple and Family Counseling, GPA 4.00. I am passionate and dedicated to helping all my clients overcome their challenges to find joy and wellness in their daily lives. To achieve this, we will work together to explore and identify core issues that negatively impact your life now and tackle them head on. We'll brainstorm ideas collaboratively and you will pick the ones that fit your needs best. By the end of our work together, you will have at least five strategies to choose from that will aid you in creating the life you want, get control over thoughts and behaviors that are not helpful, have better insight and self-awareness of how you operate and why, and, find healing, good health, joy, and wellbeing!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a strong believer that anyone is able to change regardless of what they struggle with in their lives presently, and they CAN find joy, health, wellness, and meaning. Personally, I have dealt with depression for more than 20 years. One day, it dawned on me: "Who am I? Why am I the way I am? Why do I behave as such? How has my past and, more importantly, my family of origin, molded and influenced my life now?" As soon as I began asking such questions and paid attention inward, I received my answers and then some! Depression was gone, and in its place I found joy, meaning, happiness, success, wellness, and wellbeing! That was 11 years ago! Today, here I am, a licensed metal health counselor in two states, Florida and Michigan, willing to share my story, as a living proof that life can be beautiful and you can overcome your past! So please, reach out! I would love to hear your story!
